BREAK-EVEN WORKSHEETS: DOLLAR BASIS

Step 1:

Using your most recent income statements, classify all costs as either fixed or

Classify Your Costs variable, then total each category.

Step 2:



Actual Total Sales

= $



Total Variable Costs

= $



Total Fixed Costs

= $

“For every $1.00 of sales, what percent goes away to variable costs?”

Calculate Variable Cost Percent Variable Cost Percentage = Total Variable Costs = $

Step 3: Calculate

Actual Total Sales

= %

$

“For every $1.00 of sales (after paying for variable costs), what percent is left to cover fixed costs . . . plus any targeted profit?”

Contribution Margin 100%

Step 4:



Variable Cost Percentage

= 100% –

% =

%

“How many ‘cents-es’ does it take to cover your fixed costs?”

Calculate BreakEven Sales Break-Even Sales =

Total Fixed Costs

= $

= $

Contribution Margin %

NOTE: To calculate the sales needed to generate a target profit, just add that target profit amount to your total fixed costs, then divide that amount by your contribution margin.

Step 5:

“Does the sales level you figured actually break-even - or give you the profits you target?”

Break-Even Sales Check Your (minus) Variable Costs * – Calculations

Using your most recent income statements, classify all costs as either fixed or variable, then total each category. Record the actual number of units sold and actual sales volume.

Step 2: Calculate Your Price Per Unit

Step 3: Calculate Your Variable Cost Per Unit

Step 4: Calculate Your Contribution Dollars Per Unit

Step 5: Calculate Your Break-Even Sales in Units



Actual Total Sales

= $



Total Variable Costs

= $



Total Fixed Costs

= $



Total Units Sold

= $

Price Per Unit =

Total Sales

= $

Number of Units Sold

Variable Cost Per Unit

=

units needed in sales to Break-Even

NOTE: To calculate the sales needed to generate a target profit, just add that target profit amount to your total fixed costs, then divide that amount by your contribution margin.
